LCOS-SLM (Spatial Light Modulator) is a device that can freely electrically control the phase of a laser beam. The phase of the laser beam can be controlled in two dimensions by sandwiching liquid crystal between a CMOS chip (where the pixel electrodes are arranged in a two-dimensional structure) and a transparent electrode placed on a glass substrate. The digital image output from the PC is converted into an analog signal through a dedicated driving circuit, and the voltage is applied to the pixel electrodes on the CMOS chip. This voltage tilts the liquid crystal molecules and changes the refractive index of the liquid crystal, thereby controlling the phase of the light irradiated to each pixel.

LCOS-SLM can control the phase of light with high precision in 8 bits, and is widely used for various purposes, from research on the generation of optical vortices to industrial applications such as aberration compensation and multi-point branching microcode labeling in microscopic observations.

In recent years, LCOS-SLM has attracted attention as a tool for creating new added value in laser applications by combining laser beams with significantly improved power and repetition rates, as well as phase control techniques that divide the focus into multiple points.

　　Products classified by purpose

For research and development purposesLCOS-SLM (Spatial Light Modulator) X15213 series

Due to the driver circuit and head section being built into the casing, it is easy to arrange on optical platforms and other devices, making it very suitable for research and development purposes.

LCOS-SLM is a reflective spatial light phase modulator that can freely modulate the phase of light. Laser or other irradiation light undergoes phase modulation through liquid crystal and is reflected. The wavefront shape can be freely controlled. The wavefront control of light can be applied to beam lithography, aberration correction, etc.
